“…Although both the precursor compounds 7 and 8 are known, we were unfortunately unable to prepare compound 8 according to the reported procedure, forcing us to find a new method for its preparation. 5 Consequently, we examined the regioselective ring-opening reaction of the known epoxy sulfide 9 6 with potassium hydrogen difluoride (KHF 2 ) as a fluorine source under various conditions as shown in Table 1. 7 Under the optimized reaction conditions (Table 1, entry 5), the epoxy sulfide 9 smoothly underwent ring opening with four equivalents of KHF 2 in the presence of tetrabutylammonium dihydrogen trifluoride (TBADT, 10 mol%) and TBAF (1 mol/L in THF; 1.5 equiv) at 95 °C for 16 hours to give regioisomer 8 exclusively in 90% yield (GC/MS).…”
A β-monofluoromethylated vinyl sulfonium salt, prepared in situ from a precursor γ-fluoro β-acetoxypropyl sulfonium salt under mild basic conditions, reacted with a lvariety of active methylene compounds or a primary sulfone amide under basic conditions to provide the corresponding monofluoromethylated three-membered rings in good-to-excellent yields. This new sulfonium reagent should permit easy access to a variety of important monofluoromethylated organic compounds.

“…Similarly, 1,1-bis(p-tolylthio)ketones [148,149] as well as β-keto dithioesters have been reduced by baker's yeast; the yields were low, but high ee values (>95%) could be achieved. The reduction of β-keto sulfides gave the corresponding alcohols with ee values ranging between 70 and 94% [150,151]. In general, the reduction of these compounds with yeast seems difficult and proceeds best only at low concentrations of the substrate [150].…”

“…The corresponding sulfoxide was less selectively reduced by baker's yeast (53% ee) (Scheme 11) [49]. The enantioselectivity was improved when the p-tolyl thioether (97% ee), [50] the sulfoxide (85% ee) [51] or the corresponding sulfone (87% ee) [50] were subjected to microbial reductions using baker's yeast.…”

“…The reaction was much less selective, when a phenylthio substituent was placed in the molecule [49]. Acetic acid esters of chlorofluoromethyl alcohols on the other hand showed better selectivity with the same lipase (Scheme 64) [155].…”
